Damn, I love the Ranger Elite Perm! Bungie should ( If they want to, because... afterall, it's their game! ) pick two of the best armours ( One Elite and one Spartan ) and release them with the next update or over the marketplace. Seriously, I just fell in love with the Ranger Perm. Nice work.

i havent really looked at this thread fully but i say elites should have 1 really kewl armor and one tht springs to mind would be the halo 2 high council elite armor that huge headdress thing was ace, but a problem with this would be tht ur head is a huge target :/ maybe they could make it so when u hit the armor not the head it doesnt kill in one or at a stretch doesnt hurt.

the hyabusa armor looks sweet, and the honour guard variant is brilliant. The elite equivalent to security.

These are all real cool! Just thought I'd throw an idea I had into the mix as well. It's inspired from an actual Spartan helmet (like those in the movie 300).

Just a rough sketch...

amazing armors perms and minja is right that hayabusa is awsome... great job artist!!!

Now THIS is a superb thread!

Ranger elite rules!

Give me some feedback on this design I drew on the 5th of February. It's an E.V.A. based armor, but has somewhat of an elite's touch.

close combat and vehicle operation; What more could you want from me?

regual set is awsome but maybe instead of the shiny body, have one of those mobile field comunication backpacks with a antena (he is a comander variant correct). Sorry if I mispell anything.

I like the Chival one so much I went in to photoshop to see if I could make alterations to it, I still think the Original is way more Awsome than my remake I did.

every time someone says RECON here Luke kills another persons chances of getting it, and another thread on the halo 3 forum dies
War is fun for those who dont experience it in real life
the ODST Recon the best thing that will ever happen to u or at least for me
shenanigans
u killed flipyap

its amazing that Bungie has not posted in here commenting on what they think about all these great ideas. if i no better they are probably working on new armor varieties based off this threads sketches. i really hope what i say is true cause so many from here rock

All of your armor permutations are great, but do you think you could design a permutation having to do with heavily armored spaulders? Maybe even the concept of a recon helmet only beefed up with squarer edges? The edges could help reduce the amount of shrapnel released from 'nades and exploding objects. Maybe the idea of a helmet shaped like a circle, but two appendages forming from the sides designed to distract snipers from their original target?

Here are my custom armors variants I thought of for Halo 3. The links are at the bottom of this post and should hopefully be updated every so often. Leave any feedback you have, but try not to just link to things (especially copyrighted) that you'd want as armor in Halo 3. Also feel free to post any of your designs and I'll add the best to the first post (with credit of course).

*Update* Elite armor set, Sabertooth is up!
-----==10 PAGES!==-----
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

They aren't colored per say because you could change the colors in-game.

"True Demon"

True Demon armor is for all those people who want spikes on their Spartans. I'm not talking 5-foot spikes of doom though, that wouldn't really fit with the rest of the game I think. Personally, it's not my favorite one that I've done, but I think it turned out pretty good.

Mental

Mental armor is something I thought of because I wanted something more clean and simple. It's kinda unrealistic, but then again, Bungie's got flaming skull armor. It's got a skull helmet and sleek armor pieces. For anyone wondering, the chest armor piece fits onto the normal armor, the Spartan's body is NOT invisible.
--Mental Variant Sketch 1


Crescent

I wanted to draw something with a lot of arcs in it, so here's Crescent. I couldn't think of any description for it, so...yeah.

Intel

I'm a big fan of the E.V.A. helmet, so this one is my favorite. The "practical application" of the set is to decrease the probability of being eliminated by snipers as well as to increase the Spartan's battlefield awareness through an improved HUD and tactical readout.

Crusade

This is one of the first designs I came up with. It's based on the tall helmets some knights wore into battle. The shoulders are my favorite part of this set.

Sabertooth (Elite)

My very first officially done Elite armor variant. I'll have to do another drawing from a different angle, thought.

Goliath (Elite)

Just a helmet thus far, but it might grow to a full set.
